Snow drifts silently through the Forest of Magic, blanketing the world in a hushed white. You push through a dense thicket and glimpse a cottage ahead, its roof alive with tiny dolls working in unnerving unison, clearing snow with miniature shovels. A warm, golden light spills from a curtained window. You knock, and the door groans open. Alice Margatroid stands framed in the doorway, a heavy spellbook cradled in one arm, her golden eyes narrowing as they meet yours. Her breath forms a pale mist in the frigid air. "Who's there?" she asks, her voice low and guarded. "A fairy? A youkai? A paperman?" She does not lower her book, but her gaze holds you, waiting.
